V320LA20CP

V320LA20CP are types of TVS – Varistors, MOVs (or Transient Voltage Suppressors). This type of components serve to protect circuits and electrical equipment against transient, or surge voltage, from nearby lightning or electro-magnetic fields. This article will discuss the common application fields and working principle of V320LA20CP.

V320LA20CP, as a type of TVS – Varistors, MOVs are widely used in fields where surge/transient protection is necessary. These include telecom systems, renewable energy systems, home and industrial networks, computer and networking equipment, power supplies and distribution systems, and automotive/marine applications. They are typically used to protect sensitive circuits against overvoltage events, whether they are of natural origin (such as lightning strikes) or industrial origin (such as switching inductive loads).

V320LA20CP devices operate on the principal of a “avalanche breakdown”. This is a process by which electrons rapidly move by tunneling through a thin insulation barrier, resulting in a rapid growth of current with an accompanying voltage drop that prevents sharp pulses from damaging sensitive circuitry. This type of protection is both high-speed and extremely efficient, providing a better level of protection than standard fuses or resistors.

V320LA20CP also feature high surge current capabilities at a variety of levels. This means they can handle large transient/surge currents without causing damage or malfunctioning of the protected circuit. This makes them particularly suitable for applications that are prone to high levels of transient/surge current. Additionally, the devices are designed to have a low clamping voltage, which ensures that the level of over/transient voltage that reaches the protected circuits is low.

V320LA20CP is a type of component that is popular in many electronic applications, thanks to its low cost and high efficiency. It is an ideal choice for protecting sensitive circuits from electric surges or transient voltages, and its high surge current capabilities make it suitable for a wide range of applications.
